About

I am the author of the Rock & Roll Mystery Series. My first novel, Rock & Roll Homicide, has been two Kindle Top 100 lists from June 2014 through October 2014. My second novel, Rock & Roll Rip-Off won the Premier Book Awards 2010 Mystery/Thriller of the Year. The third book in the series, The Concert Killer, was voted "Fan Favorite" by my readers. The 4th novel, The Classic Rockers Reunion with Death, opened with a TV interview on NBC and a very fun launch party with live rock music. Diamonds, Clubs, and Rock & Roll has been described as the "most imaginative" novel in the series, taking place in an undersea club on the floor of La Jolla Cove.

Description

Countless years ago, measured in thousands, the Gods came first. Monstrous creations were born of their frivolity. Like the Gods, some of the creations were peaceful, others not. Their duty to preserve the earth completed once more, however, the day came that the Gods had to leave earth. Unleashed and with loose regulation, the abominable creations left behind multiplied. In their midst, another conception came to be, and his kind would exist absolutely outside of the God’s purview. Unmated, alone, and untrusting of others, Chatran was charged to go to a place and protect the father of a great child, yet unborn. This duty, however, was unknown to the most cognizant part of Chatran. Only the Beast, who resided within him, knew. As a result, the Beast led Chatran to Walhalla, North Dakota. Although his initial charge was to protect the father he found there, Chatran also gained a mate and Pack. With them, Chatran also found a new way forward, and started on a course that would lead to – New Alpha Rising: Ascension.

McDonnell has a great knowledge of the music industry, and his characters are dysfunctional, yet well-crafted. Rock & Roll Homicide is a well thought out mystery that leaves you on the edge of your seat. This cast of characters is perfect for a series, and hopefully we'll see just that in the future." ... reviewed by Brooke Carleton For the full review click: <a href="http://www.apexreviews.net/RRH_-_RJMcD.html">http://www.apexreviews.net/RRH_-_RJMcD.html</a> Critical Mick (Ireland) "The novel's romantic subplot was both refreshing and authentic ... It's a fun read ... Rock & Roll Homicide is at its best when RJ McDonnell is pushing the PI formula into places it has not traditionally been pushed.
